2 | Who is God and Father of Jesus? | Eph 1:3 | BradK | 202386 | ||
Hello True..., Dr. Wuest explains Eph. 1:3 this way- having direct bearing upon the other verses in understanding. "The phrase, “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” needs some attention. God the Father is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ as He (the Lord Jesus) is seen in His humanity. He cried on the Cross, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?” The Persons of the Godhead also recognize each other as co-equal deity and address each other as God. The Father addresses the Son, “Thy throne, O, God, is for ever and ever” (Heb. 1:8). But in our Ephesian passage Paul is thinking of the humanity of our blessed Lord as it relates Him to God the Father. Our Lord recognized God as His Father in a twofold relation. In John 6:18, the Jewish leaders accused Him of making Himself equal with God because He said that God was His (Gr. idios) own, private, peculiar, individual Father, His Father in a different way from that in which He is the Father of believers. Here our Lord speaks of Himself as Son of God the Father from whom He proceeds by eternal generation in a birth that never took place because it always was. Thus, God is the Father of the Lord Jesus as He (the Lord Jesus) is seen in His deity. Again, He says to Mary (John 20:17), “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God and your God.” In the expression “my God,” we see the humanity of our Lord, and also the fact that in His humanity He bore a different, unique relation to God as His Father from that of the believer. It would seem that since He is speaking of His human relationship to God in this phrase, He is also doing so in the phrase “My Father and your Father.” Our Lord regarded God as His Father also in His humanity." [Kenneth S. Wuest, Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament] I trust this will help in answer of your question. BradK |

What of Revelation 3:12, where the glorified Jesus, STILL mentions his God. Also, you mentioned that the Father and Son are co-equal, yet, Jesus himself said OTHERWISE [John 14:28, John 5:19, 30, John 12:49, John 8:42, Mat. 24:36]. | ||||||
